We made our way out to Dearborn on a humid, rainy weeknight on a mission for a burger, and it did not disappoint. The burger, the bar, the ambiance...were all better than I could have expected, and well worth the hype I've been hearing from my friend. Shortly after our meal he sent me some of his impressions which really summed things up perfectly; so with little help from me, here's our experience at Miller's:
No Way to Miss it.
Oversized signage beckons 60mph burger seekers. All it tells you is what you need to know - you've arrived at "Miller's Bar." And make no mistake about it - it's a bar. No menus.
Sit at the end of the bar, if it's available. Left End - grab the corner and watch baseball on the old TV. Right End - watch the ladies make Miller's heralded hamburgers, "This is where all the magic happens," one burger-lady quipped.
Or there's always the middle, where the bartenders serve ice cold Miller on tap (what else?). The bartenders came with the place. I can't imagine them being anywhere else. "I haven't had the burger in 6 years," our bartender volunteered, "Work in a burger place, don't eat the burger. Work in an ice cream shop, don't eat the ice cream. Work in a brothel..."
No Windows.
The Bar is a sanctuary from high-speed Michigan Avenue and it's Roadside Attractions. It's intimate, yet spartan with a 'dated-yet-timeless' feel. The limited decor is big, just like Michigan Avenue, as we take in the Tigers on the old TV.
The place is lively, with regulars downing pitchers and glancing at the game on a single flat screen. The focus is clearly not on sports, entertainment or interior design. It's all about the burgers.
No Silverware.
The Burger is what it is. Simple, hearty and cooked to perfection. Served the same way for 72 years (with or without cheese and onion) and presented - without presentation - on wax paper.
Fries and onion rings also arrive on wax paper in a basket. Makes sense. A tray with salt, pepper, mustard, ketchup, pickles and paper napkins completes the picture at the corner of the bar, where our focus remained for the duration of our stay at Miller's.
Solid burger. Medium rare, plenty of beef and topped with Swiss. And it's big enough to handle a healthy portion of the sliced raw onion, served on its own piece of (you guessed it) wax paper.
Onion ring batter tilts toward the south, a distant cousin to bayou diner-style hush puppies. Fries are thin, straight-cut and play second fiddle to the burgers and rings.
No Credit Cards.
The utilitarian 'ATM' sign painted on the side door is a subtle nod to Miller's 'credit-free-environment.' Â Sifting through the wallet for some cash is yet another ritual that makes Miller's what it is. A perfectly fine place to pull out of the rat race for a while to trade a few dollars for some burgers and beer. Just let the Bartender show you the way.
The front of this place is quite deceiving. It looks like a dive bar and not the type of place you'd go for food, but surprisingly enough on the inside, its actually quite quaint!
The beer selection on tap is pretty rubbish, but they do have a number of good beers in bottles. The burgers are delicious though, even though they come with just onion and some condiments. I'd have given this place only 3 stars (given the terrible beer selection) but the honour system they have for paying and the friendliness of the staff completely won me over!
Everytime I come here it is always on accident - Â a HAPPY accident!
LOVE THE BURGER.
Our server was very informative and upfront about how the run things. Â She explained their version of meat cooked at medium so I knew to order my burger a little more done than I normally would.
You do not get served on plates. SUPER casual. Â Two kinds of cheeses, nothing grilled (i.e. onions, mushrooms). Â No tomato or lettuce.
BEST PART: You don't need all the toppings. Â The burger tastes fantastic with just cheese, raw onion, pickles, some condiments.
The fries are delish. Â
The beer list is simple, mainly domestics.
You pay on the honor system. Â So if you are a liar, don't come here. Â Actually- if you are a liar, stay home and eat.
Can't wait till the next time I accidentally come here!
I traveled all the way from New Jersey for this burger and it did not disappoint. I've had MANY burgers in my life and I still think that this was my absolute favorite burger of all time. It was so simple yet....so amazing. I had 3 and could've still eaten more. They're doing burgers right here.
Review Source:What I'm going to say may sting a little for folks part of the Metro-Detroit burger debate - this burger is better than Red Coat. Â As a Dearborn native, I may be a bit biased, but would argue that I'm being as objective as possible. Â Even with a packed bar, they still manage to crank those burgers out. Â It gets incredibly crowded during peak hours, so try to go during "off hours" (between 1:00p - 4:00p; after 7:00p) if you're looking to avoid a wait. Â But whatever you do, just go and get one. Â And don't ask for ranch dressing for your french fries.
Review Source:Day/Time of visit: weekday dinner
Atmosphere: casual, 'rustic' bar
Millers Bar is another unique Dearborn institution, a must visit for hamburger lovers. Their offerings are limited, 5 items: hamburger, cheeseburger, fries, onion rings, and I've heard rumors that they now offer a chicken breast sandwich although I can't confirm (there's no menu, people!). The hamburgers/cheeseburgers are just that (i.e., don't expect any lettuce, tomato, mayo) - they do have pickle slices, ketchup, and mustard on the table, and fresh onion slices are delivered with your burgers. The burgers are big and cooked to your desired temp. I will mention that the last 2 times the medium well has been more like a medium, but still good.
Along with the limited menu, they offer limited payment options - cash only. But there is an ATM in the building in case you don't have cash on you like most people these days. And, don't expect a bill either - you go up to the bartender and tell him what you ordered and give him your cash.
So, why go to this limited menu limited payment options kind of divey place that makes you get up out of your chair to wait in line to tell the bartender what you ordered???? Because it's unique. Enough said.
Bring cash as they take no plastic. Also, bring a bunch of cash because burgers are $6 each. Is it worth it? Sure! It's good stuff, but it's not fancy, which is part of the charm. Service might be short. Just let them know you're not a regular and they'll slow down and explain how it works.
Review Source:Meh - I've experienced better.
I went here with a group of friends because I heard it was the best but soon learned that our taste in burgers, fries, beverages, seating and service vary greatly.
The burgers were decent but nothing to warrant adjectives like "delicious", "one-of-kind" or "great". The beef was plenty and condiments like ketchup, mustard, fresh onions and pickles were on the table so that you can literally, "make it your way". This was a plus.
The fries are better off in the trash than in your mouth. They were flavorless, greasy and limp. Yuck!
The beer selection is low but I do like what they have. The serving size of alcohol reminds me of being in Europe (think very small) but I guess it's ok.
Seating can be hard to come by and don't expect a menu or great service.
If you want a mediocre burger then you've found your new hub!
The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired, but that's kind of part of the charm. There's a definite feeling that you're stepping into a time machine and going way, waaaay back when you walk through the unmarked front door.
The reason to go to Miller's Bar is the hamburgers. The fries and (especially) the onion rings are sub par, but the burger is perfect in its simplicity.
The burgers at Millers have nothing to hide. Just a simple, seasoned patty on the perfect-sized, slightly toasted bun. Served with some onion and pickles. Wrapped in waxed paper. It's just the right flavor and texture. Not too big. Not too sloppy. Just a textbook definition of a hamburger.
Order your burger with a Miller beer, natch. Then blink in confusion when you exit the bar and find that you've been deposited back in the 21st century.
Sorry folks I'm not drinking the kool-aid on this one.
I'd go 5 stars for JUST the burger if I could, but alas the burger doesn't exist in a vacuum.
I've been here a few times and OK OK I get it. Â It's a BAR - it supposed to be dark and a little dingy etc. Â It is however, clean and the staff is mostly friendly. Â I have NO problem with the decor or the atmosphere or even necessarily having to eat my burger on a piece of grease paper.
Although there were 2 of us I will break down the cost for one. Â The total cost, excluding tip, for cheeseburger, onion rings and a 16 ounce can of coke was $11.80. Â With 15% tip that brings the total to $13.45. Â By the way, unless you are only going to eat a burger with no fries or no drink, Â the Yelp price category should be $$ NOT $.
I'll admit the burger was cooked really well and tasted great, but the onion rings didn't taste house made, they tasted like frozen bagged rings, they were only okay and the canned coke served warm with an 8 oz glass with ice wasn't all that refreshing. Â Â
I am a guy that focus on value and I can understand why the owners want to keep it simple and I think that's great, but I get the feeling that I sort of paid a premium for the pleasure of slightly-dingy bar surroundings, no silverware, no plates, no menus and a warm 16 oz canned soda. Â I don't find no plates charming at that price. Â If they used big pieces of brown paper to cover the tables like some crab places do, THAT might be charming, but I don't know WHAT'S been on that table top and that greased soaked piece of paper is frankly kind of gross.
Perhaps the last straw was the fact that they refuse to pay the 2.7% charge (and I'm sure for their volume they would pay closer to 2%) for credit cards and possibly force the customer to pay a $3.50 ATM fee boosting the cost to $15.75. Â
Frankly, that doesn't spell value in my book, that spells mercenary. Â I don't know this to be the case, however it is even conceivable that they get a piece of the ATM fee for placement in their bar.
As a comparison, one of my other favorite award winning burger joints (in Royal Oak - named after a red article of clothing) charges a total cost for cheeseburger, onion rings and refill-able coke for $13.90 ($16 w/tip) and I get plates, silverware, house-made rings, and cold pop. Â Burger also seems a bit bigger and just as well cooked.
Overall great burgers, decent food but poor value. Â If you are going to try to sell me the kitch and stand on ceremony and not use flatware nor menus nor dishes nor except credit cards nor offer cold fountain drinks (they didn't even bring water!!) and charge me $14 for the pleasure, then perhaps you should expect being called out for being a poor value when compared to your peers.
Simple burgers. Don't ask for anything fancy because you ain't gettin' it. A burger should be judged by the beef, not all the crap you can pile on it. And theirs is a prime example of how to do it. Definitely throw some cheese on that biatch.
Fries are delicious too.
Beer snobs, this isn't our joint. Asking for a craft beer here will merit the same reponse as pulling up to a biker bar with a pimped out Honda Civic. Just don't.
Service sucks. Doesn't matter how many times I've been here. This is one of those places that makes you think "Yeah, you ain't gettin' any more than 15% lady." You get your food, you get your drinks. To get smiles or extra service, I'm not sure what the code word is for that. Bartenders are always really chill though.
And you know this is the spot to be in the metro area when you run into Annette J on the way out the door!
One of the most talked about places. Finally decided to give it a try the other night. First thing i will say that this place is totally a dive. To know what i wanted to order, i had to look off the white board, of course coming here, i had to get the ground round with cheese. It was pretty good, but not great like everyone else proclaims it to be. I was more entertained by the fries and onion rings, which were really good (although the fact that this place don't serve ranch is a major knock in my book). I also think the fact that the draft beer glasses were only like 10 oz is also a major knock. What isn't a major knock: the fact that they use a honor system here is a applause to these owners. Overall this place is pretty good, i just wouldn't say great.
P.S. have your cash ready here, no credit cards, and also they do give you a pickle jar with your food.
Still my favorite burger joint in town. However, I will add that in recent visits I've noticed that the cooking requests are off. Meaning, if you request a medium, you'll get a medium-rare. Luckily I don't mind terribly if it's a little less than what I order (better than being overdone as far as I'm concerned) but I understand if people are particular about that sort of thing.
SO, perhaps a word of caution--order up! Especially if you're skeeved by any pink in your patty.
....that sounds dirty. I'm sorry.
Millers has good burgers but the waitstaff could use some tips on manners.
Just because a place does one thing well and is always busy their staff thinks they can act like it is an honor for them to serve you. Â Always liked the bugers but never been impressed with some of the long timers there.
My mother in law who is 72 and a widow stopped at Millers by herself  two weeks ago because she really wanted a Miller burger.  Going out by herself was hard enough..but as she waited in line  she was bypassed for a table twice...then a waitress said "There is a single seat open at the bar..you can`t have a table by yourself"  Well if was me I would not care but my MIL was not going to plop herself down on a stool between groups of younger men because she felt totally intimidated.  So she just left without eating.  Use some sense now and then and take care of the older customers too.
Again this has nothing to do with the food..but Millers really needs to adjust some of the attitudes of the waitstaff!
Lousy beer choices and an extremely average bar burger with a below average bun. Â Not even close to the best bar burger in the area. The old baggles that take your order are snippy and cold, and there's really nothing special going on. Thanks, but I'll elect to not get stuck in someone else's rut. Millers does not live up to the legend.
Review Source:This institution of beef puts out 1 of the 3 best burgers I've ever had. Â Want something else? Â Then you're getting fries or onion rings. Â That's it. Â And it's really all they need. Â Pay on the honor system at the bar after your lunch, dinner or midnight snack of a double w/ cheese topped with a thin slice of onion and a couple pickles along with onion rings and a Bud and you're living right.
Review Source:As a gal who only eats turkey & chicken ....Miller's is the one exception I make and eat beef .. it's the only cheeseburger I will eat. It is a great spot to take people from out of town to have them taste a great burger that has been on the food network!
I make it out to Miller's two or three times a year and they have the best simple burger out there. I like their casual atmosphere and honor system for paying, great onion rings too.
A couple things to take note of would be that they can only serve bottled water so be prepared to pay for a drink no matter what, and there is often a little bit of a wait and it is very tiny space to wait in.
I was just there for lunch on December 28th and one thing that really surprised me was how many small children were there. There were several toddlers, and 5-6 year olds. I was kind of surprised to see this ... I LOVE kids and it really doesn't bother me when they are loud etc. I mean they're kids they are gonna be messy and keep things interesting -- but while Miller's has a little dining area it still is very much a bar atmosphere and it's just so small that all the parents around us seemed like they were really stressed out trying to keep their kids out of the way while waiting for a table and again while seated it was hard for the waitresses to squeeze through around them... to me this establishment does not seem very kid friendly and so my advice to parents is to come when you don't have the kids with you, or if you do want to bring the kids come at an off time in between the busy moments of lunch and dinner rush. Another option would be to send someone in to order some burgers at the bar to go and enjoy the deliciousness of Miller's in a better environment for your kids!
Overall Miller's is the best burger in the Detroit area and you've got to try it at least once!
Really! Only two stars! They're lucky to get that.
I hadn't been to Miller's in about twenty years. I remember it being as good as everyone raves about here on Yelp. Well I ventured here one Satuday afternoon with my daughter and her now finace'. We were hunting around for a hall for their reception. As we were driving toward Telegraph I screeched my tires and pulled a hard right into Miller's parking lot. They thought it was good idea too and now I would finally get my chance to try one of these Detroit  famous burgers again.
Well what else would Burger Boy have. Burger, fries and one ice cold beer. After putting the condiments on that I love(onions, mustard, lettuce, dab of ketchup, pickles) I took my first bite. Hmmm, need another. Add french fry. Hmmm. Not as good as I remember it. Try a little more. Hmmm, not that good! Here's my taste analysis. It tasted like I took some hamburger(not ground round or sirloin) and tossed it on my no-stick frying pan at home. No taste at all. The fries were good.
Service was another thing. Boy did our waitress have an attitude. All bad. Man, go home get your sh*t together and come back and wait on me. I'm your customer. She ignored us like the plague.
OK, time to pay. What did I order? Total order, three burgers, three fries, two beers and a bottled water. Ready, drum roll....$27. 23! Oh, plus a tip. You've got to be kidding! My tip, lower your prices, hire nice waitresses make a much better burger.
I may give this another try, if they're still around in twenty years.
OK, this was my second trip to Miller's so I figured it to be about time that I weigh in. Both times I've visited it's been packed so I'm thinking "good sign"! Lucky for us, we've never had to wait for a table (good timing!).
The ambience is pretty much downriver bar & grill. Long, narrow, packed tight. Nothing spectacular. The staff seem to have mostly all been there for a while, and are nice enough. I think the lack of ever being given a menu is a bit daunting, especially for those who don't have their sights already set on a burger (I know...but it happens!).
On each visit I ordered a cheeseburger, medium rare. Once fries, once onion rings, and this time I was talked into trying the baked beans as well. If you order a soda, it's coming in a can with a tiny little glass of ice. Charming? No, not really....
I'll start from the bottom and work my way up. The fries are shoestring style cooked crispy. NOT my favorite type. There's nothing really more to say about frozen pre-cut fries. The onion rings also come in pre-battered and frozen. While freshly deep fried, they tasted "old", and had a heavy, over breaded consistency. Again, not a fan. The baked beans were surprisingly good, if not just a little too sweet. My understanding is that they make a small amount of beans each day and when they're gone, they're gone. We ended up getting the last of that days batch at our table.
Now on to the burger itself, or should I say the "ground round"? The burger was cooked perfectly medium rare, which I give kudos for! The bun was nicely proportionate to the overall size of the burger. i ate mine "naked", not additional condiments or toppings. The cheese tasted like a good blend of mild cheddar, and was just the right meltiness. All in all, a pretty darned good greasy mess of a burger. "Greasy Mess" you ask, "how is that possible with ground round"? Good question. Personally I'd question this meat being dubbed with that particular grade. It was just WAY too juicy/greasy for a ground round blend of 90% Lean, 10 % Fat. I'm just not buying it. In any event the burger was good, but not legendary at all.
The wait to get our food (~15 minutes) & less than stellar sides is what brought this down to a 3 star. If I go back, I'm just going to order 2 burgers and see how it goes.
Some people just don't get it. It's a bar! Â It's Miller's Bar on Michigan Avenue in Dearborn. The Millers apply the K.I.S.S. principle and have consistently done so for at least the last 40 years or so that I've been going there. Â It's a simple menu: Ground Round Burger, Fries and now (The last 10 or 15 years!) Onion Rings as well. The basic toppings are presented to you at your table and you do with them as you see fit. Â Order a Millers on tap or in the bottle or a Coke and have at it. Â Pay at the bar when you leave and enjoy the satisfaction of a real Bar Burger in a real Bar... Miller's Bar! Â 5 stars for what they do! I get it and I'll definitely be back...
Review Source:Whatever with this place.
I know I'll feel the heat from my friends but this place sucked. Â We felt super awkward here. Â It was a destination eat.
All old folks which usually means a good thing, but not this place. Â It was a shitty bar burger that didn't do anything for me. Â Not memorable at all. Â The vibe from the son/bartender was shitty to say the least. Â It felt like he was rushing us out. Â Weird.
I'll never go back here.
We strolled in here about 4pm on a Thursday and the place was full. Â It's a dimly lit hole in the wall and it was great. Â We sat at the bar and were served by someone who reminded me of a cross between Dilbert and Bill Lumbergh from Office Space. Â He was nice, beers were cold and burgers (served on sheets of wax paper) were delish. Â
All in all I can't wait to go back and visit Dilbert and the gang again!
Simply W O N D E R F U L~
My Daughter & Future Son In Law flew in from Hollywood at 11:30 last night , and we figured he needed to have his 1st Miller Burger
WOW~
He loved it  big time & even had a Vernors Ginger Ale for the full Detroit experience!
Tony was our fun loving / free spirit server & she toyed with our guests about there 1st time here
Fabulous Service!
Wonderful Burger Again!
Miller's has been hyped by my wife and everyone else that I know from the Dearborn area for years. Finally had to give it a try, and it was somewhat of a letdown. The burger meat is great, and they can truly keep a burger to exactly how your order it, but everything else is fairly pedestrian.
The place clearly has some nostalgia, so I give it credit for that, and the honor system is somewhat endearing as well. But the burger is plain as plain can be, and the big "secret" is that the cheese is velveeta. The onion rings and fries are average, and it can get really crowded during the lunch and dinner rush. People were waiting for 30+ minutes for a burger, which after having it, I would never do.
Maybe it was just hyped too much for me, and the burger itself is still good, so I'll go with 4 stars. But please don't wait in line or expect anything too spectacular.
I hate to be the one to shoot a place down which is not what I intend to do here, but is Miller's Bar really 5 star ? I really don't think so as I have been trying to compare all hamburger places side by side.
At Miller's, it comes to the beef in the burger. I don't think they are using beef tenderloin in the burger, nor rib eye or any choice cut like the place in Windsor does. Miller's is good, fresh, great service, but it is just another bar burger if you were north of M-55 in our state. It is a big burger, but just traditional high grade hamburger for the meat with no distinct taste or rich beefy flavor. I will say that they know how to cook a burger here though. When I asked for "medium", that is exactly what I received.
If you want to make a great burger, you have to make the hamburger yourself and form the patty yourself, I am not sure that is what they are doing here.
Miller's is a comfortable bar. I will definitely come back in the future and I have been here a few times in the past. I just think it is a "little above average" bar burger.
Seems like it use to be better burger in the past...
The one star is for reality vs. reputation.
Service - The bar is usually understaffed and the servers are often rude. Good luck if you want another drink or water.
Burgers - The burgers are good but....great? Not so much. Although they are supposed to be cooked to order, this often gets screwed up. I like a medium burger which here means completely overdone or almost raw. They must get the orders screwed up. The burgers are crazy greasy too. I know it's a bar burger, but it'll give you a stomachache.
Fries - Run of the mill frozen fries.
Price - their prices have gone through the roof since this somehow became THE burger place. $10 for a burger and tiny serving of lousy fries.
Bottom line: If you want a GREAT burger, go to Red Coat Tavern. If you're in Dearborn and want a good burger...go to Fall's Lounge. Miller's is an overrated dump.
Meh, is just about the total some of the visit!
A lot of ranting and raving about a great burger, which to me is really just an "ok" burger, mixed with a long history and a lot of hype!
A rather boring bar that without all the hoopla, would likely not have survived the economic decline!
Based on the offerings here and my observations, I would say this simply is not a sustainable business on its own, but again the hype has propelled it beyond the undeniable fate a place like this would face if it had not of placed it on a pedestal.
Now for the goods, service was reasonably fast, friendly and attentive.
The burger was prepared to order and the fries & onion rings were hot.
Thats it!
Now for the rest (not so good and other).
The draft beer came in one of those small drinking type glasses you see at a hospital cafeteria (no boombas here), I have seen pictures with the normal glasses, maybe they were all dirty.
It seemed to mirror dinner time at Denny's with the vast blue hair activity and seemed the average age of the joint was about 70 with more than a few looking to be in their upper 80's and up!
The bun on my burger was not very good, it seemed stale or like the value buns you get at the grocery store.
The size of the burger! (From the hype I envisioned this monster half pounder oozing of juicy goodness, but instead got a quarter or third pounder, not really sure!)
Price seemed to be a bit on the high side considering they type of place this is.
All in all, this visit was just ok, and I would certainly not go out of my way to go here, but if the stars were aligned just right and my group were all going there, I would go again!
In my continuing quest to re-Yelp (almost) everything Liz W. reviews, I finally made it to Miller's Bar. Â
Meat: Â They got mine perfect, and the beef was fantastic. Â
Bread: You get this instead of a fork. Â It's to pick the meat up.
Vegetables: Â That's what you feed to the meat, while it is still walking around.
People: You want more condiments? Put an onion ring on your burger.
You either love Miller's or you whine and moan about it.
I love Miller's. It is genius in its simplicity. The burgers are a perfect medium rare for me, medium for my husband and both are equally juicy and good. I too like the cheese a lot. My husband likes his plain but I think the toppings (mustard ketchup, onion, pickle) add something.
The onion rings are good as are the fries but truth be told I could easily skip either and have.
The atmosphere is not what some upscale suburbanites are used to and I say good. If eating on paper scares you and you can't deal with the lack of variety, take your butt back to Red Robin or Applebees or whatever makes you comfy. If you want a truly good burger that doesn't need junk to hide the taste then suck it up and deal.
5 star burger
2 star onion rings
5 star place!
I love this place. It's totally inconspicuous between the endless strip malls that showcase capitalism at its worst of Michigan Ave in the down-right middle income area of the Dearborn-Inkster border. Yet, this place holds steady with its pure essence.
The burger
It's DAMN tasty. I ordered a to-go medium-rare which ended up being cooked to medium-well by time I got to eat it (not their fault for making traffic horrendous!). The cheese is shaved off of this block that looks so familiar to me and tastes like the same cheese block my grandmother used to shave off for our grilled cheese sandwiches. What the hell is that? It's not velveeta! It's some Wisconsin brand, haven't seen it since the 90s. If you order "everything" you get: a thick slab of onion, mustard, ketchup, pickles. No sick looking tomato, no totally useless piece of wilted lettuce. How beautiful is that?
The onion rings
You people who sing the praises of these onion rings clearly never had the mother of all onion rings at Sidetrack. But that's OK. Their onion rings were nothing to write home to, basic, kinda chewy, not homemade rings. Meh!
The folks
These are actual "folks" if you know what I mean. The kind that smile at you with a little twinkle. Real people that want to make you happy with their secret artery clogging weapon.
How to order:
There is no menu. You get a burger with or without cheese, rings or fries. You get your yummies and you pay IN CASH. Total for 2 rings and 2 cheeseburgers was $17 w/o tip.
******CASH ONLY ******
PS - you won't find my fancy-ass "Belgian" beers here (not referring to now Belgian owned Bud!). Sorry, this is Labatt country. Whatever that means.
Always saw this place on GQ's list of burgers to try before you die. Â Never really had a reason to stop in Detroit metro area. Â Now with the GF being from Michigan (Upstate), and on a trip to visit the fam, why not stop and give it a try. Â
A slice of Americana frozen in time. Â As local as you get. Â The outside is very plain with a big sign on the side that says MILLER'S with no windows. Â Does seem a little sketchy until you get inside. Â Then it is your typical bar with lots of old timers chattin it up with each other. Â The service is super friendly and welcoming. Â Even for a first timer, it felt like I have eaten there many times before. Â
The menu is simple with choice of Cheeseburger, Hamburger, French Fries and Onion Rings. Â All served on wax paper. Â The beer is always cold and has classic American offerings like Miller High Life, etc. Â The GF enjoyed Miller Lite draft and I had Michelob Light in a bottle. Â We both had cheese burgers and split the fries and rings. Â The pickles on the tables in the rubbermaid containers were a little scary, but great while you wait. Â You figure, it's pickled, so it can't be that bad. Â The burger was grilled to perfect medium rare and perfectly fit on the bun. Â Didn't even need ketchup. Â It was pretty delicious for not being one of those fancy-schmancy types of burgers. Â
What a treat, Thank you GQ top 20 to try Hamburgers list. Â This is actually one I am glad I made the effort. Â Compared to some of the other one's on that list.
I dont really know what the hype is about this place, a lot of people must not have experienced really good hamburgers or there are a lot of people that like hopping on the bandwagon?
It's a burger served on wax paper... Not a lot of skill in that, I have only tried the regular burger. Â I will go back and try the chesseburger.
I did like the very fresh tomato and raw onion it was served with but really  dont know what the hype is all about, the place is just ok.
I actually may go there tomorrow for lunch and will report back on the Cheeseburger.
;)
